About this episode

Ashley and her cousin Austin discuss various natural disasters and provide a crash course on disaster preparedness with humor.

Earthquakes. Hurricanes. Wildfires. Floods. Tornadoes. Volcanoes. Apparently the planet woke up and chose violence. In this episode of Wine Not Talk About It? , Ashley is joined by her cousin Austin to break down the most common natural disasters, what actually happens during them, how long they last, what kind of warning you really get, and what the aftermath looks like when the cameras leave. They dig into real historical disasters, bust dangerous survival myths, explain why evacuations happen so fast, and walk through what should be in an emergency bag, bug-out bag, or car kit — all while keeping it light, curious, and only mildly alarming. Consider this your disaster-preparedness crash course… with jokes. This episode is sponsored by Audible — check them out here: https://amzn.to/3LFt8NV or on our website at winenotpod.com.
